Mueller report released to public contains nearly 1,000 redactions, with 7 pages blacked-out completely.
Information redacted because it was grand jury material was the second most common with more than 350 instances. Grand jury material is protected as part of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Rule 6, and Mueller used grand juries to issue subpoenas and search warrants throughout the probe.There were nearly 100 instances of redactions related to"investigative techniques," or information that could disclose secret intelligence sources and methods.
“The Attorney General’s decision to withhold the full report from Congress is regrettable, but no longer surprising," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said in a statement."If he was willing to release this evidence, which is so clearly damaging to the President, just imagine what remains hidden from our view."
Democratic hopeful Kristen Gillibrand, D-N.Y., called on the attorney general to “deliver the fully unredacted Mueller report to Congress because our job is to review it and he should make the facts available to the American public.” Rep. Don Beyer, D-N.J., tweeted a photo of several pages of the report that were almost completely blacked out with redactions.
